Re: HDN Thunderbolt & Windows Laptop
The Lenovo W540 has Thunderbolt. That's what I'm eyeing as my replacement laptop.

Re: HDN Thunderbolt & Windows Laptop
There are YouTube clips of Lenovo laptops recording 250 tracks using HDN Thunderbolt. As TB is little more than pcie over cable the pcie hdn drivers seem to come into play.

It's actually ProTools Expert from a while back. Lenovo don't make this lap top any more though.

Re: HDN Thunderbolt & Windows Laptop
Its a little more problematic than that. There is a few issues holding us in the Windows world back from having more compatible Thunderbolt devices. The biggest issue is the lack of a universal driver that is needed from Microsoft. Until then, there is a multitude of variations of Thunderbolt drivers that are individual to each manufacturer such as Gigabyte, Asus, Intel, etc. It would require the devs such as Avid to write individual code for each specific driver. The trick for Windows development has been utilizing other protocols for the I/O. In the case for Universal Audio for instance it was the internal Firewire lanes they used to allow support on Windows machines for Thunderbolt devices. The reason the Apollo Twin and any updated drivers since on any UA TB devices will lose support on Windows is because they have now started writing specific TB drivers that will travel on the PCI lanes as intended and where the problem lies with Windows. Sure they will catch up as they did with Firewire, just a matter of when. What method Avid used to get TB capability in Windows, I do not know.

Re: HDN Thunderbolt & Windows Laptop
I have heard that it is literally plug and play. No need to write to lots of manufacturers - you can only have TB if you have an Intel chip set.

And yes it's Intel only and only 4th gen processors (Haswell) and newer.
